  • Patent number: 7353266
    Abstract: A system and method for facilitating remote access of an application available via a stateless protocol is provided. Such applications are typically accessed via the World Wide Web portion of the Internet (the “Web”) using a browser application and an HTTP protocol. The system can include one or more components for caching data associated with the remote access, the data comprising state and/or user specific information. The state and/or user specific information can be stored in a user context object (UCO). One or more user context objects can be managed by a user context manager that facilitates locating user context objects and reclaiming memory associated with user context objects that are no longer necessary to support remote access of the application accessed via a stateless protocol.

  • Patent number: 7177949
    Abstract: Methods, systems, computer program products, and data structures for displaying data on a web browser interface where the data in its native format is not displayable on a web browser interface. A network server receives a request for content from a network device where the request includes a request for data that is not displayable on a web browser. The network server identifies a template, which will be used to transform non-displayable data into displayable content. The network server accesses non-displayable data that is stored on a data server and processes the accessed non-displayable data according to the identified template in order to transform it into displayable content. A template may include HTML code as well as customized tags. The customized tags are consumed by a rendering engine, which executes certain functions to modify the data, making it displayable content. Once transformed, displayable content is sent to the network device.
